Dadda's Day 2012

Happy Dadda's Day to all the wonderful dads out there.... We have a great one to recognize in our home...

When I first met James back in high school - I thought he'd be a perfect boyfriend....funny, goodgreat looking, outgoing, affectionate, athletic....but back then, I never thought of what married/parent life would be with him.

As the time passed through our dating years, many times we talked more about kids than we did marriage... that was clue #1 that he'd be a pretty awesome dad. After we married, the discussions got more frequent. Then around our 1-yr anniversary, we decided it was time. And boy did it happen fast! When I took the at-home pregnancy test and it was positive, James couldn't believe it - he was going to be a dad at last.

He was so great during the pregnancy - always wanted to feel her kicking, chatted with her & played her the "Capri" song (by Colbie Caillat) from his cell phone on my tummy.

Once she arrived James exceeded all my expectations as a father to Kapri.

Now, three years later, I'm amazed at how incredible James is as a dadda to our beautiful daughter. He lights up her life & she looks up to him sooo much. I need to reach for the recorder more often when they are together....such sweet moments I never want to forget. Times when they're snuggling on the couch (she fits so nicely by his side, under his arm), times when they're playing at the park, with her toys or just tickling each other (love that laughter), or times when he's reading her a book...so animated and loving...it warms my heart.

There's no guide to parenting, motherhood or fatherhood - but James sure does know what he's doing when it comes to raising our child. I knew I scored when I got him....but Kapri lucked out the most having him for her dadda. I couldn't ask for anything more in a man - a loving, patient man - who puts family first & knows how important family really is!

Welcome!

This corner of the web is the “Mejia Mamma” family blog, where I document our busy little life of 3! With all the chaos in the simple day-to-day, I write & post photos to keep our wonderful friends & loving family in the loop. Blogging has become very dear to my heart, since I first started in August 2008. I thought of this as an especially useful outlet during my wonderful pregnancy with our 1st/only child. Now it has evolved into a great place for me to let my thoughts flow, document our daily adventures and let my creative side shine. Check back for our life updates, my ups & downs as a 1st time mommy, some fun crafting as time allows and watch as our little girl grows up from the beginning!
